Mrs Dawn Lee

About me:

Dawn is an Associate Professor of Health Economics and Health Policy, working with the Peninsula Technology Assessment Group (PenTAG), one of 11 research units in the UK providing expert advice on the clinical and cost-effectiveness of new drugs to the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Dawn joined PenTAG / Exeter University in Sept 2022 following over 15 years in economic consultancy where she worked most recent as the Chief Scientific Officer for a medium sized health economics consultancy (Lumanity; formerly BresMed). She is a health economic modeler who has conducted over 50 UK Health Technology Assessment submissions and worked in over 30 countries globally, a member of NICE’s interventional procedures advisory committee (IPAC) and the R for HTA group. Dawn’s key project achievements include representing manufacturers at ~30 HTA Committee meetings, working on the first ever immune-oncology submission to NICE (TA268), first ever PD-1 submission to NICE (TA384) and a considerable number following this and the first ITC accepted by G-BA.

Dawn’s main research interests are oncology modelling; particularly immune-oncology and therefore flexible survival modelling and the incorporation of external data within extrapolations, structured expert elicitation and improving diagnostic pathways.
